A not-so-Humpty-Dumpty tale

So, over the years I’ve created not a few personal websites. Here’s the full list: Blank Slate (including its blog), this blog (Top of the Mountains), BenjaminCrowder.com, Bookland, Digital Bridge, Outside the Box, Footprints from the Past, and, most recently, Halfpence. (We’re ignoring the project sites like Mormon Artist and Unbindery.)

Houston, we’ve got a problem. Eight sites. One man. An impossible mission. Coming soon to a theater now you.

No, really, in trying to burrow out a nest for myself on the web, I’ve made a tangled mess of things, leaving scattered pieces and fragments all over the place — abandoned, derelict ghost towns on the web.

My minimalist leanings are not pleased.

To fix this, in the near future I’ll be consolidating things, forming a more cohesive and unified brand so that Ben Crowder is not strewn across the web in a zillion different places. It’s time to put myself back together again. Stay tuned.

the link to halfpence points to mormon artist.

Odd — it’s only like that in the email Feedburner sent out. (The link is just fine on here.) That’s very weird, since none of the surrounding links were messed up in the email. Hmm…

I know the feeling. Thus I now own the joshhansen.net domain for the next ten years. Okay, 9 years left now. Seemed like a good place to consolidate and set up shop.

Yeah, I own bencrowder.com, bencrowder.net, benjamincrowder.com, etc. And a plethora of other domains to boot. Consolidation is still in progress, though I do have to say it’s coming along nicely considering how little time I’ve been able to devote to it.
